MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, including but not limited to those set forth under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Form 10-K, may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward looking statements. The emphasis of this discussion will be on changes in the year ended December 31, 2025 with respect to 2024. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for additional details on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations in 2024 and changes in the Company’s financial condition and results of operations from 2023 to 2024. Overview Our Company We are a bank holding company headquartered in Coral Gables, FL. We provide individuals and businesses a comprehensive array of deposit, credit, investment, wealth management, retail banking, mortgage services, and fiduciary services. We serve customers in our United States markets and select international customers. These services are offered through our main subsidiary, Amerant Bank, which is also headquartered in Coral Gables, FL, as well as our other subsidiary, Amerant Investments. Fiduciary, investment, wealth management and mortgage lending services are provided by the Bank and the Bank’s securities broker-dealer, Amerant Investments. The Bank’s primary markets are South Florida, where we are headquartered and operate 21 banking centers in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties; and Tampa, Florida where we have a regional headquarters office and currently operate two banking centers. See “Item1. Business” for recent developments. Amerant Mortgage is a subsidiary of the Bank. In April 2025, considering its strategic decision to focus on Florida, the Company announced it would transition its mortgage business from a national mortgage originator model to in-footprint focused approach, emphasizing mortgage lending that supports the Company’s retail and private banking customers. Since April 2025, the Company progressively reduced the mortgage-focused FTE count from 77 FTEs to 3 at the close of 2025. In addition, in January 2026, loans owned by the Bank and sub-serviced by a third party have been transferred into the Bank’s core platform, and remaining existing vendor contracts are expected to be terminated or modified. The Company expects to complete winding down Amerant Mortgage in the first half of 2026. The Cayman Bank is a subsidiary of the Bank. The Company is executing a plan for the dissolution of the Cayman Bank and, as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Cayman Bank no longer had any trust relationships, many of which were transferred to the Bank. The dissolution of the Cayman Bank, is expected to be completed in 2026, once regulatory approval from the applicable regulatory agency is received. 65 Primary Factors Used to Evaluate Our Business Results of Operations. In addition to net income or loss, the primary factors we use to evaluate and manage our results of operations include net interest income, noninterest income and expenses, and indicators of financial performance including return on assets (“ROA”) and return on equity (“ROE”). We also use certain non-GAAP financial measures in the internal evaluation and management of our businesses. Net Interest Income. Net interest income represents interest income less interest expense. We generate interest income from interest, dividends and fees received on interest-earning assets, including loans and investment securities we own. We incur interest expense from interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, including interest-bearing deposits, and borrowings such as advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) and other borrowings such as repurchase agreements, notes, debentures and other funding sources we may have from time to time. Net interest income typically is the most significant contributor to our revenues and net income. To evaluate net interest income, we measure and monitor: (i) yields on our loans and other interest-earning assets; (ii) the costs of our deposits and other funding sources; (iii) our net interest spread; (iv) our net interest margin, or NIM; and (v) our provisions for credit losses. Net interest spread is the difference between rates earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. NIM is calculated by dividing net interest income for the period by average interest-earning assets during that same period. Because noninterest-bearing sources of funds, such as noninterest-bearing deposits and stockholders’ equity, also fund interest-earning assets, NIM includes the benefit of these noninterest-bearing sources of funds. Non-refundable loan origination fees, net of direct costs of originating loans, as well as premiums or discounts paid on loan purchases, are deferred and recognized over the life of the related loan as an adjustment to interest income in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Changes in market interest rates and the interest we earn on interest-earning assets, or which we pay on interest-bearing liabilities, as well as the volumes and the types of interest-earning assets, interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing liabilities and stockholders’ equity, usually have the largest impact on periodic changes in our net interest spread, NIM and net interest income. We measure net interest income before and after the provision for credit losses. Noninterest Income. Noninterest income consists of, among other revenue streams: (i) service fees on deposit accounts; (ii) income from brokerage, advisory and fiduciary activities; (iii) benefits from and changes in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance, or BOLI, policies; (iv) card and trade finance servicing fees; (v) securities gains or losses; (vi) net gains and losses on early extinguishment of FHLB advances, which we may execute from time to time as part of asset/liability management activities; (vii) income from derivative transactions with customers; (viii) derivative gains or losses; and (ix) other noninterest income which includes mortgage banking revenue and gains or losses on the sale of loans originated for investment. See “Item 1. Business” for more details. Our income from service fees on deposit accounts is primarily affected by the volume, growth and mix of deposits we hold, as well as the volume of transactions initiated by customers (e.g., wire transfers). These are affected by prevailing market pricing of deposit services, interest rates, our marketing efforts and other factors. Our income from brokerage, advisory and fiduciary activities consists of brokerage commissions related to our customers’ trading volume, fiduciary and investment advisory fees generally based on a percentage of the average value of assets under management and custody (“AUM”), and account administrative services and ancillary fees during the contractual period. Income from changes in the cash surrender value of our BOLI policies represents the amounts that may be realized under the contracts with the insurance carriers, which are nontaxable. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company restructured certain of its BOLI contracts, by surrendering existing lower-yielding policies and reinvesting the proceeds in higher-yielding policies. This transaction increased income from this source beginning in 2024. 66 Table of Contents Interchange fees, other fees and revenue sharing are recognized when earned. Trade finance servicing fees, which primarily include commissions on letters of credit, are generally recognized over the service period on a straight line basis. Card servicing fees include credit and debit card interchange fees and other fees. We have also entered into referral arrangements with recognized U.S.-based card issuers, which permit us to serve our customers and earn referral fees and share interchange revenue without exposure to credit risk. In 2024, the Company discontinued one of these arrangements which served international customers, primarily. This is expected to cause a decrease in this revenue source prospectively. Our gains and losses on sales of securities are derived from sales from our securities portfolio and are primarily dependent on changes in U.S. Treasury interest rates and asset liability management activities. Generally, as U.S. Treasury rates increase, our securities portfolio decreases in market value, and as U.S. Treasury rates decrease, our securities portfolio increases in value. We also recognize unrealized gains or losses on changes in the valuation of trading securities and marketable equity securities not held for trading. Our fee income generated on customer interest rate swaps and other loan level derivatives are primarily dependent on volume of transactions completed with customers and are included in noninterest income. Derivatives unrealized net gains and derivatives unrealized net losses are primarily derived from changes in market value of uncovered interest rate caps with clients. Other noninterest income includes mortgage banking income/loss generated through our mortgage banking operation comprised of Amerant Mortgage through the early part of the fourth quarter of 2025, and later through the Bank, and consists of gain on sale of loans, gain on loans market valuation, other fees and smaller sources of income. Mortgage banking income was $0.7 million and $6.9 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively. Other income in 2025 includes approximately $3.4 million of net gain on sale of loans originated for investment. Non-core noninterest income items include other non-core noninterest income which include the effect of items such as derivative losses, securities gains and losses, gains on sale of loans previously originated for investment , amongst other items non-recurrent in nature. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for more information on non-core noninterest income items. Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expenses generally increase as our business grows and whenever necessary to implement or enhance policies and procedures for regulatory compliance, and other purposes. Noninterest expense consists of: (i) salaries and employee benefits; (ii) occupancy and equipment expenses; (iii) professional and other services fees; (iv) loan-level derivative expenses; (v) FDIC deposit and business insurance assessments and premiums; (vi) telecommunication and data processing expenses; (vii) depreciation and amortization; (viii) advertising and marketing expenses; (ix) other real estate and repossessed assets, net; (x) losses on sale of assets; (xi) contract termination costs; and (xii) other operating expenses. Salaries and employee benefits include compensation (including severance expenses which we generally consider non-routine), employee benefits and employer tax expenses for our personnel. Salaries and employee benefits are partially offset by costs directly related to the origination of loans, which are deferred and amortized over the life of the related loans as adjustments to interest income in accordance with GAAP. Occupancy expenses consists of lease expense on our leased properties, including right-of-use or ROU asset impairment charges, and other occupancy-related expenses. Equipment expense includes furniture, fixtures and equipment-related expenses.
